Incredible 1942 photograph of actress Carole Lombard as she pitched bonds for the government. Moments later she would board a plane and head back to Hollywood. The plane would crash and Lombard would tragically lose her life in the service of her country. There are 4 or 5 known images from her final day with this being the only one we have ever seen in original form offered for sale. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is a nearly perfect example. An important piece of Hollywood history.
